No needs to rename every control from something like textBox1 to txtTitle 
, because no more code like:
txtTitle.Text = article.Title;
article.Title = txtTitle.Text;
How much time can we save if there are 20 controls on the screen?

Google AJAXSLT is an implementation of XSL-T in JavaScript, intended for use in fat web pages, which are nowadays referred to as AJAX applications. Because XSL-T uses XPath, it is also an implementation of XPath that can be used independently of XSL-T.
Selenium Core uses AJAXSLT’s XPath function to locate element on plain html. Selenium IDE can generate the XPath very much same as Solvent.
Here is a sample to extracting data from a web page using XPath using AJAXSLT.
<html><head>
<title>XPath-Test</title>
<script language=”JavaScript” type=”text/javascript” src=”xpath/misc.js”></script>
<script language=”JavaScript” type=”text/javascript” src=”xpath/dom.js”></script>
<script language=”JavaScript” type=”text/javascript” src=”xpath/xpath.js”></script>
<script language=”JavaScript” type=”text/javascript”>
function findElementUsingFullXPath(xpath, inDocument) {
var context = new ExprContext(inDocument);
var xpathObj = xpathParse(xpath);
var xpathResult = xpathObj.evaluate(context);
if (xpathResult && xpathResult.value) {
return xpathResult.value[0];
}
return null;
};
function start() {
alert(findElementUsingFullXPath(“//*[.='b']“, window.document).innerHTML);
}
</script>
</head>
<body onload=”start()”>
<div><p>aaaaa</p>test<div>bb</div><a>b</a></div>
</body>
</html>

My default SQL CE database was deployed to ClickOnce Data Directory. If changed the database schema, ClickOnce will deploy the new database and keep the old database file (in .pre folder). Here is the psuedo code to migrate schema:
if (IsFirstRun)
{
if (customMigrationORMergeNeeded)
{
string dataFolder = call the API
// Database from V1 of the app
string oldDatabase = Path.Combine(dataFolder,”.pre\db1.db”);
if (File.Exists(oldDatabase))
{
string newDatabase = Path.Combine(dataFolder,”db1.db”);
//perform the task needed with old and new one
DoPerformCustomMigrationORMergeAsNeeded();
}
}
What about removed the program from control panel? Data are all gone.
Looks like better to copy database file to the application data folder.

One of the Mix07 presentation mentioned VBx along the Ruby and Python. I realized immediately it must be something interesting.
While searching related staff, I also found this diagram.

Most popular blog servers/engines such as WordPress, Drupal, Neclues and etc. are using RDS (Really Simple Discovery) to help client software like WB Editor to find the services that can be used to retrieve, modified and delete the blog posts.
Those blog servers/engines are also generating RDF (Resource Description Framework) for each blog post to give more information about the post, e.g. track back url. But not enough. I am looking for,
Here are some interesting references:
